Delamere Late Disgorged 2014
$150, 13% alcohol, DIAM, Tasmania.
This is an exceptionally complex wine. It’s off the charts in terms of its array. Grilled peach, Vegemite, red apples, brine, cardamon pods, creme brûlée characters and more. It’s highly engaging, and intriguing to go with it. It feels soft and fine, so much so that it almost feels flat. From start to finish it is quite an experience. 94 points.
